Mega-billionaire is friend of Trump, owner of Hawaii island, mentor to Musk, and father of man who took over CBS
Larry Ellison, the co-founder of software company Oracle, is having a good year. His friend Donald Trump is in the White House, his son David Ellison has taken over the storied media company CBS, and on Wednesday he surpassed his buddy Elon Musk to win the title of the “world’s richest man”.
Oracle’s stock went wild with the news, pushing his fortune even higher. Ellison’s net worth shot up to $393bn, surpassing Musk’s $384bn – although, as Oracle’s share price rose and fell throughout the day, Ellison’s fortune fluttered back down closer to Musk’s net worth, according to Forbes.
